On 13 September 2010, it was announced that Pellatz would join the Dutch club ADO Den Haag. During the January 2011 transfer window, Pellatz moved to Excelsior Rotterdam on loan. The following season, he left Den Haag permanently, moving to Sparta Rotterdam.[3]

On 4 July 2013, it was announced that Pellatz would leave Sparta to sign a two-year-contract with Dynamo Dresden.[4] Six months later he signed for Viktoria Köln after only have been capped for Dresden's reserve team.[5] He left the club on a free transfer since his contract was dissolved by mutual agreement.[6]
